Honest discussion of male-female differences is also largely gone — a lesson the former president of Harvard Larry Summers painfully learned when he simply asked if fewer women succeed in math and science because of innate differences between men and women.

Discussion of disproportionate rates of black violence is not allowed, no matter how well intentioned — unless it is to “prove” how racist America is because of the high number of black men in prison.

In Europe — and in all likelihood coming to America — Christians who, citing the Bible, argue for a heterosexual ideal are arrested.

Thanks to the left, students at colleges get speech codes. They learn early in life that much speech is not permitted.

One may not favorably compare Western or American culture with that of any other. Led by Jesse Jackson, leftists chanted, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go” at Stanford University. And away it went.

The left owns the language. Married women are not to be referred to as “Mrs.” but as “Ms.” And the words “lady,” “feminine” and “masculine” have largely gone to their graves. High school and college teams with American Indian names must drop those names because by definition, according to the left, they offend American Indians.

(This last example has always perplexed me. Why does the name Florida State Seminoles offend Indians? One caller to my radio show once responded to that question by asking me how I would feel as a Jew if some team took the name “Jews.” I told him that I would be thrilled. For nearly 4,000 years, Jews have been looking for fans.)

Back to leftist controls on speech: One can only speak of male-female differences if the difference shows the female as superior. Thus to say women are innately more intuitive is perfectly acceptable, but to say men are innately more likely to excel at math is “sexist.”

A woman may reveal as much of her body as she wishes.

But if a man is perceived by a woman as looking too long at what she reveals, or if he comments on what she reveals, he may be fired from his job and/or sued for “sexual harassment.” A woman may wear a miniskirt and crop-top, but a man may not have a calendar of women wearing miniskirts and crop-tops on his desk at work. That constitutes sexual harassment and a “hostile work environment.”

Dennis Prager gets it.
There's a foot race among the media and officials to carve out 1st Amendment exceptions for mascots and their privileged friends.

NOW ADD THE WORD "ILLEGAL!" Below is a Graduate Student resolution at the University of New Mexico posted in the DAILYLOBO.COM on Feb. 1, 2011. GPSA unanimously passed a resolution to support the elimination of the word “illegal” in reference to people. The El Centro de la Raza presented the resolution at Saturday’s GPSA Council meeting and asked members to endorse the “Drop the I” campaign.
The misuse of the term is offensive and inaccurate, said Christopher Ramirez, a representative from the Office for Equity and Inclusion. He said the resolution will be proposed to ASUNM.“It is a very de-humanizing word,” he said. “This is racism.

Last month Dennis Prager wanted MTV to censor rappers. Now he accuses anyone whom disagrees with him of censorship. Deep down, Prager is very shallow.

Completely agree with Mr. Prager! The "progressives" imposed the de facto censorship on par with that in the former USSR. However unlike in the USSR, the "progressive" censorship is not backed by the power of the state or KGB. This censorship is based rather on our willing collaboration, on self-censorship! On self-censorship – even if the threat is "only" to lose one's job (yet still not one's freedom or life!)

So, Mr. Prager, first you yourself stop using the "approved euphemism" like "gay". The terms "homosexual", "pederast" still exist as valid and appropriate words in English.

It is OK to be begot (whichever it means), because it is OK to reject some entire groups of people exactly for what they are.

It is OK to be whichever the progressives deem you to be, because as you know, you are "fascist and racist" merely because you are correct…
